Coral Castle

One tiny man, obsessed with his love for a young woman, labored for over 25 years to build a coral rock monument to her, which is the Coral Castle. Often referred to as America's Stonehenge, this monument has baffled scientists, engineers, and scholars since its opening in 1923 because it was completely built by one man, without any help, using only hand tools to carve and move tons of coral rock. When asked how he did it he answered 'I understand the laws of weight and leverage'.

During your audio tour you will see coral that was made into a Sun Dial that records time, even today. Visit the Throne Room (because every man's home is his castle) and the Florida Table, where he envisioned the Governor and Senators would sit around making plans to raise taxes. In addition you can view the bedrooms, the children's playground, and the tower and living quarters. It truly is a Sculpture Garden and a tribute to a lost love.
